Hosianna Mantra
Electronic Used - LP CEL 004 Celestial Harmonies
Rare 1981 First U.S. Pressing Of Their Superb 1972 Album. As The Album's Title Suggests, Florian Fricke Conceived Of Hosianna Mantra As A Musical Reconciliation Of East And West, A Harmonization Of Seemingly Opposed Terms, Combining Two Devotional Music Traditions. That Notion Of Cultural Hybridity Resonates Throughout. On "Kyrie" Droning Tamboura, Simple Piano Patterns, Ethereal, Gull-Like Guitars, And Yearning Oboe Ebb And Flow Before Coalescing In A Passage Of Intensity And Release. The Epic Title Track Adds Another Dimension To The Fusion, Emphasizing A Western Rock Sound With Veit's Spectacular Playing To The Fore, Simultaneously Smoldering And Liquid, Occasionally Yielding To Djong Yun's Celestial Vocals.... more details

Nosferatu
Soundtrack Used - LP 900.573 Egg
1978 Laminated Cover Original. Appears Glossy, Unplayed. Not Recorded As The Soundtrack To Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu" This Is More Correctly "On The Way To A Little Way" And A Proper Popol Vuh Album In Its Own Right. It Is Not To Be Confused With Similarly "Nosferatu" Branded Albums! Herzog's Classic Horror Movie Only Uses About A Quarter Of The Material On This LP (Sparingly) Plus Material From "Brüder Des Schattens - Söhne Des Lichts" And Classical Music!... more details
